Music for piano – Choice
Vol. 3 Beside the pool

From the introduction...

The main goal of this book is to encourage competent music reading through learning lots of simple (but interesting!) pieces. The reading pieces are for five fingers in each hand, centred around middle C.

This book also offers children some fun ways of playing music over a wide range of the keyboard allowing them to develop technical skills and musical perception unhampered by having to read what they play. These pieces are written on small staves, and should be taught by demonstration and played from memory. The music on these pages has been written for the information of teachers and parents – it is not intended that the pupil should read these pieces! The patterns to be played are easily absorbed, and each piece has detailed hints, and a keyboard diagram to show the starting position.

Have fun! Esther Cohen
